• My professor has chosen one assignment for you, and you are to choose another assignment that covers a different topic that interests you, so you will be doing two assignments per chapter.
• If you use your book, make sure to include the relevant page number(s) OR sections from your textbook or etext.
• You must answer responses in your own words. Responses must be original.
• Each answer should be able to be read as a complete essay. Restate the question, make it clear what you are answering.
